Angels for the Forgotten Bags.

These are the 27 bags for the Angels for the Forgotten Charity that I have finished sewing this morning before my Crafternooners came. Do you Hijinks Ladies recognise your donated fabrics?

Crafternooners.

 Just a short quickie visit from My Crafternooners today, they had Sports practice this morning and they also have a fair to go to in Diamond Creek. Look at this delightful present from them today,

 This is a really lovely soft rubber tactile pen. I love it! Thank you girls. xxx

 Working on some stitchery, blanket stitch.

Today's Sewing.

This is the fabric I was cutting up yesterday, Almost finished, 27 bags for Angels for the Forgotten Charity using the freebie fabrics from last weekend. Finished sizes are 15 inches by 12 inches. (not including the fabric for the cord to go through). The blank page book is my guide to making the bags big enough for a colouring book and bits. The same principle as the laundry bags. Off to have something to eat before it gets too late.

Polar Fleece Patterns.

 http://www.shinyhappyworld.com/
I wanted to wait until I got permission to use the patterns for charity. Permission Granted! This are the patterns I will be using for the polar fleece fabrics I got from Savers in Greensborough a couple of weeks ago.

 They are just so very very cute!
Today though I have not been sewing, just preparing the fabric to make the draw string bags. I will show them when they are sewn.

This is the reminder of the fabrics in blue, pink and red polar fleece for the softies. (The top blue roll has already been cut up and donated to Crafty Hijinks. The brown heavy weight fabric has been cut up and ready to sew into Laundry bag linings). That leaves the pink, blue and red polar fleece for me to make into softies. What have you been doing today?

Aussie Heroes Stuff.

 Thanks to Jan-Maree I was able to post them onto someone to be used for Aussie Heroes,

These too went to another lady. I have made a card with my details on it and asked for a photo for me to blog about when they are done.

Gift Making.

I forgot to take a picture of the mug bags I made for Melody and Christine so I have pinched it from Christines blog. http://macdonaldspatch.blogspot.com.au/ Melody's was in a different colour combination. The wool is feltable so useable in many different ways. The pattern is a freebie from http://mythoughtsbysonia.blogspot.com.au/2010/12/christmas-gift-giving-tutorial-quilted.html
